#18: Add NX_UNITLESS unit

Comment (by Pete Jemian):
* '''NX_DIMENSIONLESS''' is for things such as strain (mm/mm) where the
units cancel out.
* '''NX_UNITLESS''' is for things with no units at all and can be used to
differentiate from '''NX_DIMENSIONLESS''' or '''NX_ANY'''
Note: The comment for NX_ANY suggests that NX_UNITLESS might be more
appropriate when the quantity being described is something such as
''log(x).''
